Breaking tradition. What Roman scale armour was—and wasn’t
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The Roman army is traditionally envisioned wearing three main types of body armour: the lorica segmentata, mail, and scale armour. Unlike the first two, of which complete specimens have been found, scale armour has only been recovered in fragments. Traditionally, these remains have been interpreted as parts of a scale-covered shirt, assumed to offer full-torso protection. Nevertheless, no single archaeological specimen of such a complete shirt has been discovered to date. A reassessment of the collective evidence for scale armour from the archaeological record challenges this view, leading to a fundamentally different understanding of scale armour. This paper presents new evidence suggesting that the Roman military used an additional type of protective gear, distinct from a scale shirt, which has remained unrecognised until now.
